Stubborn Pain Meets Its Sound Match

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), delivers acoustic sound waves to the affected area through the skin. The waves stimulate blood flow and cellular activity at the treatment site, supporting your body’s healing response in tissue that hasn’t fully recovered on its own.
It’s typically used for chronic, stubborn injuries or conditions like plantar fasciitis or tendonitis that have plateaued despite rest, stretching, or other treatment.
We added Shockwave Therapy at Mary Physiotherapy because rest, stretching, and standard treatment alone don’t always resolve chronic tendon and soft tissue pain or sometimes an injury plateaus, and it needs something more targeted to move forward.
Every Shockwave session here is calibrated to your specific condition intensity, treatment area, and frequency are set based on a real assessment, not applied the same way regardless of what’s actually going on. And it’s never delivered as a stand-alone fix: your Shockwave Therapy is coordinated with the rest of your care at Mary Physiotherapy, so it supports one connected recovery plan rather than working in isolation.
We’re a local, Chilliwack-based clinic, which means this level of precision doesn’t require a trip out of town, it’s available right here, integrated with everything else your recovery needs.

We review your condition, history, and previous treatments to confirm shockwave therapy is the right option for you.
Your therapist determines the treatment area, intensity, and number of sessions based on your specific condition.
Acoustic waves are delivered to the treatment area through a handheld device. You may feel some discomfort during treatment, particularly over sensitive areas, this is normal and typically brief.
Mild soreness or redness in the treated area is common for a day or two. We'll walk you through what to expect and how to manage it.
Since results build across a series of sessions, we reassess your response and adjust treatment as needed.
Once your goals are met, we discuss whether any maintenance is needed or whether treatment concludes.
Shockwave Therapy isn't offered as a catch-all fix, it's recommended specifically for the chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions it's genuinely well-suited for, and your therapist will tell you honestly if something else is a better fit.
Treatment settings are set based on your specific diagnosis and tissue presentation, not applied the same way session after session regardless of how you're responding.
If rest, stretching, or standard physiotherapy has stalled, Shockwave Therapy is positioned specifically to restart progress where those approaches have stopped working.
Because results build across a series of sessions, we check your response each visit and adjust the plan instead of running a fixed protocol regardless of outcome.
Your Shockwave sessions are coordinated with the rest of your treatment plan here, so it's working alongside your recovery not separate from it.
